SUMMARY:NYU Center for French Language presents “La Sonothèque Nomade” at Africa House
DESCRIPTION:NYU Center for French Language presents “La Sonothèque Nomade” at Africa House – April 4-5\, 2019\nThe Center for French Language and Cultures is happy to invite you to La Sonothèque Nomade – an artistic residency and musical event on Thursday and Friday\, April 4-5\, 2019. La Sonothèque Nomade is a lively\, nomadic\, and poetic space of listening and recording with a global outlook\, collecting songs and lullabies from somewhere or other\, accompanied by accounts and recordings. The sum of these portraits build up to create a gallery of portraits\, intended to enrich the Sonothèque. \nThis program is part of the Le Festival des cinq continents\, an annual literary event\, organized in partnership with the international organization of La Francophonie. \nA Nomadic Experience\nCreated in 2018 by performer and musician Carine Henry\, in collaboration with actor and theatre director Jérôme Bouvet\, the goal of the sound library is to record songs and lullabies in as many languages as possible. They meet people in their home or in a public space and record contributions\, following up with an interview afterwards to better understand the link that ties the singer to the song. The Sonothèque Nomade recorded songs in France and in Switzerland\, and their 2-day residency at NYU Africa House will be their first residency within the Americas. The full extent of their work will be later presented at the Paléo Festival\, the biggest open-air music festival of Switzerland\, in July 2020. \nAt NYU\, the Sonothèque Nomade will record songs and lullabies from students and professors. \nThe NYU Center for French language and Cultures is a creative partner of the Sonothèque Nomade. \nWhen & Where\nNYU Africa House\, 44 Washington Mews\, New York\, NY 10003 \nApril 4\, 2019 1:00pm – 5:00pm \nApril 5\, 2019 9:00am – 12:00pm \nArt Direction\nJérôme Bouvet and Carine Henry \nFor more info about the Sonothèque Nomade project\, please visit https://www.lafaussecompagnie.fr \nFor more info about the Sonothèque Nomade’s residency at NYU\, please contact Guillaume Parodi at gp70@nyu.edu or (212) 998 8758. \nVisit the NYU Arts and Science page for more information: https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/research-centers/frenchcenter/festival5continents/schedule0/sononomade.html \n\nCo-Host\nThe NYU Center for French Language and Cultures exists to promote academic and cultural activity relating to the French-speaking world at New York University\, and to foster exchange between the University and French and Francophone communities.

SUMMARY:Andrés Bello Chair Professor Marisa Belausteguigotia\, 2nd public lecture: PATHWAYS AND FOOTSTEPS IN DETENTION
DESCRIPTION:Venue: KJCC Auditorium // 53 Washington Sq. South\, NYC\nReception to Follow\n\nPATHWAYS AND FOOTSTEPS IN DETENTION: MIGRANTS’ AND PRISONERS’ TRANSLUCENCY – MEXICO/ U.S. BORDER\nHow do female prisoners escape their cells in order to be seen at the borders of nations\, institutions and disciplines? How do obscured migrants and prisoners leave traces within systems oriented to repress and disappear them? Professor Marisa Belausteguigoitia explores these questions through the trope of translucence\, that combination of light and shadow that shows the contours of an obscured object without rendering it fully clear. Through videos and images that tell the story of how prisoners in Mexico City escaped their cells and came together with migrants at the US border\, Prof. Belausteguigoitia illuminates their conjoined presence\, voices\, and forms of resistance against the conjoined violence in Mexico and the United States today.

SUMMARY:Faculty Brown Bag: Christine Dang
DESCRIPTION:Encountering the Other:  Religious Voices in the City \nOne key thread in the contemporary history of Africa – a thread running parallel to and entwining with those of decolonization\, independence\, and nation-building – is urbanization. Throughout the past century\, the continent has witnessed the mass migration of people from the countryside to the city\, and the rapid growth of cities\, both in size and in significance as paradigms of postcolonial society. This presentation is a reflection on spirituality and the urban\, as refracted through the lens of musical practice. I will focus\, in particular\, on Senegal – on the migration of religious believers into its cities during the 20th century\, and the sounds of faith which accompanied this migration. In Senegal – a secular\, Muslim-majority nation – musical piety reverberates across urban areas\, at all hours of the day and night. From the Islamic call to prayer\, to the chanting of Sufi poetry\, to the hymns of the Catholic minority population\, the cities of Senegal are flooded by diverse religious voices\, competing for acoustic and ideological control of public space. In these cities\, Muslim and Christian voices encounter the voices of others\, both sacred and secular; voices interact\, influence\, and are reciprocally influenced by the plurality of sonorities which constitute the urban environment. In their interaction and mutual influence\, religious voices not only transform the sonic landscape of the Senegalese city; they also participate in continual redefinitions of postcolonial identity\, secularism\, and public space.

SUMMARY:African Diaspora Forum-Maya Trotz (U. of South Florida) and Kevin Rhiney (Rutgers U.)
DESCRIPTION:Caribbean in the Flux of Change – People\, Land\, Air & Sea \n  \nBattered States and ‘Resilient’ Futures? A Critical Reflection on the Caribbean post Irma-Maria \nKevon Rhiney\, Rutgers University \n  \nRoughly one month after hurricanes Irma and Maria battered the Caribbean nation of Dominica\, Roosevelt Skerrit\, the Dominican Prime Minister asserted\, “we have a unique opportunity to be an example to the world\, an example of how an entire nation rebounds from disaster and how an entire nation can be climate resilient for the future.” Skerrit’s message relays a common theme emerging throughout the Caribbean after the devastating 2017 hurricane season\, that saw two of the most powerful hurricanes in recorded history wreaking havoc across the region. Though Irma and Maria serve as a stark reminder of how vulnerable the Caribbean is to extreme climate events\, there seem to be a growing emphasis on the opportunities presented by the post-hurricane situation. Ideas around resilience and ‘building back better’ are increasingly being used to justify recovery efforts aimed at rethinking existing development paradigms. At the same time\, events that have unfolded since Irma and Maria have revealed just how much these ‘natural’ disasters intertwine with underlying issues of non/sovereignty and uneven development. In this talk\, I demonstrate how the current post-hurricane situation has become a highly contested and politicized post/colonial terrain\, and offer some initial thoughts on how we might best understand these recent developments. This includes a foregrounding of the historical legacies driving modern-day vulnerabilities across the region\, and a rethinking of ‘resilience’ as a precondition for securing sustainable Caribbean futures under a changing climate. \n  \n  \nCaribbean People Centered Resilient Futures   \nMaya Trotz\, University of South Florida \n  \nResilience\, Build Back Better\, Climate Adaptation – commonly used terms in the Caribbean region today for new climate financing mechanisms like the Green Climate Fund (GCF). Having a job that puts food on the table gets packaged as investments in workforce development with a particular emphasis on gender\, improved irrigation for agriculture\, value add nutritional crops\, and improved livelihoods. Restoring a coral reef devastated by an earthquake and/or hurricane becomes a coastal resilience project to increase biodiversity\, flood protection\, science literacy on climate change\, the number of women licensed as tour guides\, and improve livelihoods. As the region plans to raise the funds and spend billions of dollars on infrastructure for the provision of food\, water\, electricity\, transportation etc.\, designing the projects for that investment provides opportunities for meaningful community engagement\, including inter island and diaspora relations. Using projects that I have worked on in the Caribbean\, this talk discusses opportunities and challenges to build more community focused solutions and management practices for critical resources. These projects range from 1) Water Sector Resilience for Sustainability in Barbados\, a GCF funded project to the Caribbean Community Climate Change Center for the Barbados Water Authority\, 2) Reefs of Hope\, a $100 million dollar 100&Change proposal\, and 3) a sustainability challenge for high school students in 12 Caribbean countries\, the Sagicor Visionaries Challenge.
